Agreed 100%. I'm a huge fan of removing all PII from whois info. Get a subpoena if you want that data. Otherwise next thing you know they'll be demanding registrant info for "facebookisevil.com" because it "infringes on our trademarks!!!"

Actually all PII information is already removed from whois info. I think it was a consequence of gdpr

  Nah namecheap made whoisguard free for all long before GDPR if memory serves correctly

    They may have but regardless of them doing so, gdpr resulted in the making of whois data not generally available to anyone.

Isn't "getting a subpoena" basically what they're doing?

  I think normally they would sue the people who registered the domain to get a subpoena, not namecheap itself.

    I thought the point was that they're suing namecheap to get the names of the people who registered the domain, because namecheap was serving as an anonymity service.
